  1. Much appreciated. I love the specs on this truck, came from a big dirt outfit. 14,600 front, 40 or 44k rears on camelback, 12k drop axle, single 3/8 frame. It weighs about 5,500 less than my lowboy truck, so definitely going to make side dumping a lot more fun when the law comes into play. I can't get over how big the cab is on this thing, there's seriously room for a entire mini-fridge to put your lunch in, and that's with keeping the passenger seat there! Vision outta the thing doesn't even feel like you're in a truck, and I've always liked how Mack did their battery boxes, air tanks, and fuel tanks, simple and out of the way on the frame from the cab back. Looks like getting some stuff swapped around on the motor is in order for a winter project, hopefully that will wake her up enough to get by with the trans that's in there, Not really looking forward to putting another transmission in a truck this year, but this thing could definitely benefit from a 13 or an 18, or go old school and hang a brownie! Still like my KW's with my Cat's but this ride is really growing on me, and that's even after realizing the motor needs some help! Thanks again for this thread and the prompt reply, I can see myself being back with questions!
  2. Man, Picked up my 05, finally got the wet kit sorted out and got her on the road. Background. Healthy E Model Cat's with 18 speeds. The Mack, 460 with an 8 or 10 speed? Yellow button with all gears backwards too. This thing is in between gears and gutless something fierce. She definitely don't pull like the 98 or 97 427 I drove many moons ago. I REALLY appreciate this thread, looks like I've got some homework to do to get my old girl running like she ought to be. Got to say other than the go pedal I really like a lot of the other stuff on this Granite!
